- Is Cale Makar the best skater in the National League? Quite possibly. And in this video, we'll try and replicate some of his edge work.
Steve from BK Hockey joins us to show us some drills to work on moves that Makar has pulled off in games and provides us with some more basic edge work drills to work on.
Interested in skating lessons with Steve? We are teaming up to run camps in Vancouver, Toronto, and London this year. Sign up here: hockeytraining.com/bk - Sport
This guy is unreal. I’ll be working on these drills all winter on my backyard rink.
Lucky
That's great to have a backyard rink
He makes it look so easy! Practice practice practice!
This guy's skating is so pleasing to watch.
He is making someone else's moves, he's a fraud
This guy is the literal definition of a beauty
Never seen #37 on Boston then!🤭
Steve is just darn graceful when he skates
Going from a mohawk to cross over , that's it. Thanks. Wish I was showed this when I was a kid. Great video. Keep then coming.
Steves a beauty
That's some really nice camera work too.
My best skater for hockey drills.
Steve is awesome coach
Thanks for sharing 🙇
"Steve is AN awesome coach, " I think it's what you're looking for
@@mikequinn3506 “Mike is an annoying viewer.” Good job with the correction Mike! 😂
He knows the way of makar
This guy is the real deal
thnx for study! allright... oke...
Makar's moves are quick versions of the "Crosby turn." Drawing the turn out requires the hips to be kept open longer. This is a stressful position to hold. Makar doesn't open his hips all the way, and they are only open for an instant.
Us hockey players would really benefit from learning to figure skate!!! Figure skaters can do all kinds of stuff like that…or more! 😉
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve heard that some professional skills trainers (in Sweden?) do actually use figure skating techniques with their hockey students!
Yeah, but a dude might seeing you doing that and call you a name, so it's not worth the risk.
@@WilhelmFreidrich wdym, they would teach it for better balance and edgw control
There are lots of players that work with figure skating coaches, and quite a few NHL/high-level skating coaches have figure skating backgrounds, so it has made plenty of inroads.
So Makar
How often does a free video come out on your app? I would really appreciate if you responded.
About once per month or two!
I’ve tried an I simply don’t have the ankle flexibility of you or Makar
1. Great username
2. You can improve ankle mobility, dorsiflexion & eversion with drills. 99% of the time it's a neurological limitation, not a physical one, as your body simply doesn't believe you can allow your ankles to move that way safely but you can.
Lookup ankle mobility drills for hockey & ATG (Knees over Toes guy) to learn about how to improve ankle eversion & dorsiflexion.
I'm probably never going to be able to do this 🤣
Lane Hutson is even shiftier.
This guy knows skating, but he needs to hire someone to fix his website.
I never really understood why people think this is so hard. I have been skating like that since I was a kid. Now I can't skate as well as Makar, if I could I would be in the NHL competing with or against him. But opening your skates like that to turn is something I have always done
Looking at Makar's replays in slow-mo, it's a combination of speed, puck control, and body fakes. I think doing all of this in a real game makes it really hard. I can open up my skates easy in any public skating session too - doing it to lose a NHL-calibre defender is a different ball (puck) game
Ok coolio 😂
Same here. It's an innate and natural feeling part of my game and I often transition in and out of mohawks in all kinds of different ways throughout games. With that said, outside edge punch/jamb turns are substantially more challenging for me, to the extent that I can barely do them in-game. I can't even stop one-legged on an outside edge like players do when going to the bench. I've been skating since I was like 6 but never was coached or played men's league until I was 24.
Have you ever played with players from a div (or two) above you? They do everything you can do but just better. Same idea here - ok you can open up your skates but can you do it at speed with a puck when another player is on you taking away space and time?
The point of the video isn't to get you to where Makar is, but to show the skills Makar uses in a training environment so viewers can design drills for whatever level they're at.
Be yourself, don't try to be any one else. If you wanna be anyone, should be #37 Patrice Bergeron, but you go, and be "you"
The difference is cale makar is in the NHL and he does what he does with others... Nhl players on the ice. Im pretty amazing i think Hahaha... When nobody is on the ice with me.
Can. Ever understand what he’s saying
